title: Giant phyllodes tumors of the breast: imaging findings with clinicopathological correlation in 14 cases.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe imaging features in giant phyllodes tumors (GPTs) with radiology-pathologic correlations.
  
  
  METHODS
  Surgically confirmed 14 GPTs of the breast were retrospectively reviewed with ultrasound, mammograms, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The most GPTs showed circumscribed and lobulated masses with cystic necrosis. Five cases of core needle biopsy results were benign other than GPTs.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Radiology-pathologic correlation in GPTs is essential, due to differences of pathologic results (5/14 in our study) between core biopsy and surgical pathology.
